FARMINGTON -- An impatient Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said Tuesday that if the independent state prosecutors worked for him, the final report on the Newtown shooting would have been released weeks ago.

But like everyone else who wants details on the Dec. 14 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School and the subsequent police response, Malloy will have to wait. He hopes the final report of Stephen J. Sedensky III, state's attorney for Danbury, will be released within the next week or two, to avoid overlapping with the first anniversary of the murders.

"It needs to get out," Malloy told reporters. "It needs to get out this week, next week. It needs to get out."

Malloy indicated that the report's 11-month preparation period might have been less if the state's attorney had more resources.

"I think that just with respect to the amount of time it's taken, then perhaps they should have applied more staff to it," said Malloy, a former New York criminal prosecutor.

Speaking after announcing an additional $16 million for school districts to increase security measures, Malloy said that over the last two months, his staff has pressed Chief State's Attorney Kevin T. Kane for the full story of the shooting that left 20 first-graders and six educators dead at the school.

The shooter, 20-year-old Adam Lanza, committed suicide with a 10-mm Glock handgun after murdering the 26 school victims with a military-style, semi-automatic Bushmaster XM-15 rifle.

"This has gone on longer than any of us would have liked, and certainly is not representative of how I would have handled the timing of this report," Malloy said.

Kane declined to comment later on Malloy's remarks.

The governor said that Mark Ojakian, his chief of staff, was told that Sedensky is currently involved in the redaction of personal information, including Social Security numbers that are to be excised from the final report.

"They have concerns about some of the information that's contained," Malloy said. "There's a large number of documents that they're going through so that there would not be any inappropriate release of information."

During his nine-minute question period with reporters, Malloy referred to the so-called crime of the last century: the kidnapping of Charles Lindbergh Jr. on March 1, 1932.

"We're in November," Malloy said. "When this happened, I said that in all likelihood this would be the most-read report since the Lindbergh kidnapping death, and I urged the folks to get whatever resources necessary to get this done in a timely fashion. I wish they had taken more of my advice and I hope the report comes out momentarily. But I have no reason to believe it's (coming) momentarily."

While the Division of Criminal Justice is within the executive branch of state government, the agency is independent, except for the appointment of state's attorneys.

"They don't work for me. If they did, this report would have been out already," Malloy said.

"I'm anxious to get this report out to the public, out to you folks," he said "That's what I'm anxious about."

Malloy said he was also frustrated by several major leaks of investigative information about the Sandy Hook murder spree, which started in the home Lanza shared with his mother, whom he shot in the head with a .22-caliber rifle before driving to the school.
